The romance of old sci-fi mag covers - Roger Ebert's Journal
pop-quiz hotshot - who can tell me the name of the artist who created a C64 graphic screen of this artwork and posted it to Compunet back in the 80s? clue: it wasn't me.

Calvin and Hobbes: Private Eye
via i.imgur.com
Bill Watterson was a genius.
He never sacrificed his comic's integrity (*cough*Jim Davis*cough*Matt Groening*cough*) and just ended it when he felt there was nothing more to say. As an adult, revisiting Calvin and Hobbes actually became a whole new experience. There was so much of Watterson's genius and wit that I can only now appreciate.
Have you ever read any of your childhood favourites and discovered something new in them as an adult? Let me know in the comments.

Wow... this sure brings back memories. Although I'm a little sad MiniDisk wasn't included in the music section. Anyone remember those?
And what's a "Jaz Drive"? I've never seen or heard of it.

thinglets: The Five Grooviest Schoolhouse Rock Songs
From the quick pace of Rufus to the infectious chorus of Conjunction Junction. From the kickass funky deep groove of Verb and I Got Six to the slow bluesy jam of Naughty Number Nine. Let the grooviness do the talkin'. If you think I missed one, please share in the comments:

Best Episode Ever 03 - Gilligan's Island
A sitcom with an incredibly high level of "rewatchability": Gilligan's Island. With a great theme song, some totally bizarre plot lines, and a concept ripped off from classic novels of Romance and swashbuckling, the characters were fun, stupid and engaging at the same time. Some fantastic episodes and a really fun show to grow up with.
MTV's Buzz: fantastically forward-thinking TV from 1990 - Boing Boing
via boingboing.net
I loved this show at the time. If you can stick with it through the first 5 minutes of total cheese it actually isn't bad. 2 other segments available here.
"In 1990, MTV aired a groundbreaking TV documentary series called Buzz. Created and directed by Mark Pellington (Mothman Prophecies, Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" video) in partnership with MTV Europe, Buzz was a fantastic experiment in non-linearity and cut-up that drew heavily from -- and presented -- avant-garde art, underground cinema, early cyberpunk, industrial culture, appropriation/sampling, and postmodern literature."
